Influencing Google Graph Box

Your Google graph box is the box that sometimes shows on the right hand side in Google searches. This box is generated by Google, based on how your company is set up online. Sometimes this box can be manipulated by updating Wikipedia information about your company. Name, Address, Phone (NAP) inconsistency is one of the biggest reasons why Google does not sort your company correctly.

NAP Consistency is finding consistency between your social vanity URLs and your website domain that helps program the search engine and your Google graph box. ​

If your company is not plugged in online and your website does not meet algorithm requirements, companies mentioning your company will display above yours in searches.

A company that is plugged in ans setup correctly online should have a Google graph box on the right hand site in basic company name searches.

The Power of A Mention
